Baker, Jr. Memorial Fund creator of the Baker Artist Awards | www.bakerartistawards.org Media Partners 2 RICHARD III Richard’s Revival A Note from the Founding Artistic Director Richard III is a remarkable play. The history in it is not very good. Shakespeare compresses events at will. The idea of who the protagonist and antago- Ian Gallanar. Photo by Theatre nists are in this play might not match the historical record. Consultants Collaborative Inc. The play is not as deeply moving or profound as King Lear or Hamlet. Instead, what makes this play great are Shakespeare’s craftsmanship and innovation. Richard, Duke of Gloucester is one of the greatest anti-heroes in the theater. Shakespeare prac- tically invents for the stage the notion that our main fi gure can be villainous and yet, somehow, likable. Why? Because he’s entertaining, he’s funny, he’s wicked, and he speaks to us directly. The anti-hero is a creation that has stood the test of time. My favorite period of Shake- speare in performance is the era in which troupes of actors toured the California gold rush towns. Their productions were deeply important to these guys in the middle of nowhere trying to strike it rich.

  • The Enduring Appeal of Richard III
    The Enduring Appeal of Richard III Harriet Jordan, 2002 Written as part of the M.Litt. program at the University of Sydney, in the subject Medieval Crime Fiction. It has indeed been confidently asserted that [Richard the 3d] killed his two Nephews & his Wife, but it has also been declared that he did not kill his two Nephews.1 Richard III has been a presence in the popular imagination for centuries. There are, however, two radically different Richard IIIs appearing in the works of novelists, historians and playwrights/filmmakers. On the one hand, we have the traditional Evil Richard, who may have first appeared in writing in the histories of Polydore Vergil (1534) and Sir Thomas More (1543 and 1557), but who undoubtedly gained his ongoing fame – or infamy – as a result of William Shakespeare’s The Tragedy of Richard III, and the earlier Henry VI plays. Opposing him is Defamed Richard, who first saw light of day in 1619 with Sir George Buck’s five-part The History of the Life and Reigne of Richard the Third, but whose main impact on the public consciousness came as recently as 1951 with the publication of Josephine Tey’s The Daughter of Time. Unlike virtually any other historical figure, Richard III manages to be both “an enduring symbol of evil and conversely a white knight whose honour has been besmirched by his enemies.”2 Thus, his ongoing appeal arises from a number of very different sources. When Shakespeare wrote his Richard III, England was still under the rule of the Tudors, and so it would hardly have been politic to present Richard in a sympathetic light.

And though I've always harbored doubts that Richard was as bad as he's been depicted, I also don't buy Worth's paragon of virtue. The book represents the difficult choices that rulers had to make and what rulers at that time represented to the people. It really had a great flow from one chapter to the next, each beginning with its own little ominous and overshadowing quote. Henry, who had three younger brothers and was himself in his prime and recently married to the French princess, Catherine of Valois , [24] did not doubt that the Lancastrian right to the crown was secure. He over-reached himself with his plan to invade Burgundy in alliance with the King of France, tempted by King Louis' promise of territory in the Netherlands as a reward. Sep 29, Natasa rated it really liked it Shelves: wars-of-the-roses , margaret-of-anjou , elizabeth-woodville , anne-neville , cecily-neville. Then, a few decades ago, both scholars and writers started to reexamine Richard's accomplishments. Rowse, A. George Plantagenet.
